function in opposition. Our purpose was to investigate transient salivary secretory
immunoglobulin A concentration [sIgA] responses to short, strenuous exercise-a maximal
graded exercise test (GXT)-in physically active, obese men. Eleven obese (35.5±5.0% body
fat), healthy men performed a GXT on a mechanically-braked cycle ergometer. Unstimulated
saliva was collected in basal state (Basal), immediately post-exercise (IPE), and 30 minutes …
Obesity and strenuous exercise are independent stimuli with potential to modify immune
function in opposition. Our purpose was to investigate transient salivary secretory
immunoglobulin A concentration [sIgA] responses to short, strenuous exercise-a maximal
graded exercise test (GXT)–in physically active, obese men. Eleven obese (35.5±5.0% body
